Zellweger's career started a hint of decline after the release of Leatherheads in 2008. The movie grossed only $41.8 million against a budget of $58 million and earned Renée her first mixed reviews in a while. The Texas-born actress experienced a few more box office duds with New in Town, My One and Only, Case 39, after which she announced her hiatus from acting. The actress cited an unbalanced lifestyle as the reason behind the decision. "I wasn't taking care of myself. I was the last thing on my list of priorities," said Renée while looking back on her six-year-long break.
